Also, this is exhibit A as to why even advanced stats are flawed. The Leafs continue to defy the advanced stats which are based around shot attempts. They are being outshot tonight but if you watch the game, they've controlled play and when they do create chances off the rush they finish with deadly precision. They'll always have a higher than average shot percentage.

There is advanced stats that only consider shot attempts when the game is close (within 1 or tied), since teams playing from behind tend to get more shots. So this game isn't really a case study in why advanced stats are flawed.
